About this artwork
When my wife and I first dated, we house-sat a beautiful rescue king snake for a friend while they were on vacation. Marie herself was a human guardian to a rescue ball python at the time (named Sue) so she knew the ropes. My only experiences prior were a class field trip to Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC when I was in the 4th grade plus the occasional black garter snake out in the backyard. But each experience is tattooed on my brain. Completely…
fascinated and cautious, I searched deep to find out about these creatures, asking tons of questions. I remember the black garter snake nipping at my terrier, Rushmore in Nashville I remember the handler at Discovery Place gently caring for and handling the boa while explaining they “snakes may look slimy, but they aren’t, they are just misunderstood!”
I remember Marie telling me to let Sue’s tongue flick my scent into her nostrils so she could remember me.
Every snake portrait I paint is filled with these impressions.

« For those who can not speak, I give a voice. For those who are deemed ugly, I give beauty. For those who are forgotten, I give remembrance. »
Will Eskridge is an American artist whose paintings have been widely exhibited in the United States. His art focuses on outcast and stigmatized wildlife such as bats, opossums, snakes, and coyotes. Eskridge believes that these creatures are often misunderstood, feared, and even hated for reason other than being "what nature intended". The main message in his work is to celebrate "the underdog", employing a light-hearted and celebratory approach.
